What do I need to bring when I get my car in Lake Charles?

Be sure to bring credit card, as well as your driver's license.

How old do I have to be to rent a car in Lake Charles?

Hertz's minimum age to rent a car in Lake Charles is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles, may have an added fee if you are under 25. Make sure to check Hertz's policy to find out what the total cost is for you.

What kind of Hertz rental car should I get for my trip to Lake Charles?

That depends on how many people you are traveling with and what activities you want to do in Lake Charles. Compact or economy cars are easier to park and great for short commutes. If you are traveling with family or friends, then a mid-size car or SUV is going to have more room for luggage and provide a more comfortable ride on longer trips. Those looking for a touch of luxury on their Lake Charles vacation can choose a higher-end vehicle like a Mercedes C-Class or Audi A4 or similar.

Does the United States require car insurance?

You are required to have insurance before you rent from Hertz in the United States. Although many of the major card issuers, like MasterCard or Discover, offer some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, they may not cover your rental car if you book a larger or luxury vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can book Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

Do I need to pay a deposit when I book my Hertz car rental?

Hertz requires a deposit when you book your rental car. Hertz will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your rental for your trip to Lake Charles. Please be aware that the deposit can vary greatly depending on the make and model of the rental.

What is the fuel policy on my Hertz car rental?

We advise a full tank policy. You should receive your automobile with the needle at "F". If you return your rental with less than the amount that you received it with, most companies will charge a premium, and sometimes up to 3X the amount of current fuel prices to refill it. If you want to save some money, it is best to find a gas station before you bring your car back to Hertz.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

Lake Charles has enough to keep you entertained, but you may want to drive to nearby cities to see what else Louisiana has to offer. You can explore the rest of the area free of mileage limits once you've had an evening out in downtown Lake Charles or checked off all the activities in Lake Charles.

Does Lake Charles Hertz offer one-way car rentals?

Hertz offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it more convenient to drop off your rental at another location. Don't forget there is typically an additional charge when you opt for one-way.
